Location is not Tracked when killed by swiping it from app switcher - Android

Josh2941 commented 6 years ago

Location is not Tracked when killed by swiping it from AppSwitcher in Android in some models(Lenovo, Huawei, MI). And there is no option to enable location services from inside app.

This was tested using your demo app from Google Play.

Your Environment

Plugin version: latest
Platform: Android
OS version: 6.0 and up
Device manufacturer / model: Lenovo, Huawei, Redmi
React Native version (react-native -v): Your demo app's Play Store version
Plugin config

Expected Behavior

Location should be tracked even if the app is killed by user on swiping from app switcher. App should prompt to enable location or enable programatically in lenovo.

Actual Behavior

Location is not tracked after the app is killed by swiping it from app switcher. No option to enable location services from the app in lenovo.

Steps to Reproduce

Start the app
Kill it using AppSwitcher by swiping it.

Context

Track location even when killed.

Debug logs

No logs

On the same Lenovo device:

boot a music player (eg: Google Music) and start playing a song.
Terminate the music player.
Does the song keep playing or does it stop? It should keep playing.

Josh2941 commented 6 years ago

The scenario which you are suggesting will stop the music player, but for location, we will be able to track it. I already have a working code of mine for tracking location where it doesn't stop even if we terminate it. Your application has more features which will take time for me to develop it. That's why I am just expecting this fix in yours. Try PendingIntent version of requestLocationUpdates using Google API's FusedLocationProvider. It will work even if you terminate the app.

I had some doubts regarding this PendingIntent version of requestLocationUpdates using Google API's FusedLocationProvider which I have posted it StackOverflow. Please help if you have any idea about it. Here is the link -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47903703/background-location-updates-using-google-api-fused-location-provider-not-accur

christocracy commented 6 years ago

Try terminating music player on other devices: music is not supposed to stop player when player’s foreground activity is terminated, since the player is running as a foreground service, just as the background geolocation plugin does.

The plugin has been using the PendingIntent version of FusedLocationProvider for the last three years with over 1600 other paying customers.

Oh, but my code works for me even if I terminate it. I tested it in different devices and all of it worked fine. Have any Idea about why its not working with this plugin?

christocracy commented 6 years ago

Show me logs from $ adb logcat after terminating your app.

This the log after terminating the app.

If you use foregroundService: true, the background-service won't terminate when the foreground-activity is terminated.

Show me the config you're providing the plugin.

Josh2941 commented 6 years ago

I tested that too. Even if it is set true its getting terminated. I am getting the log above which you are talking about. Please find it below.

A foreground-service is not supposed to be terminated with the foreground activity. Lenovo's flavour of Android is terminating a foreground-service, which violates published Android Service API.

christocracy commented 6 years ago

For Huawei devices, you must manually add your app to "Protected Apps" in Power Saving Options for service to remain alive after terminating foreground activity.

christocracy commented 6 years ago

I know of no possible way to keep my Lenovo A6000 from terminating the foreground-service when the main-activity is terminated. This is the only device I've ever come across where I've witnessed this issue. The reason I have a Lenovo A6000 is precisely because one of my customers reported this same issue about 2 years ago.

Oh, ok, Thanks. I just tested in Huawei Che1-L04 as per your suggestion by manually adding the app to Protected Apps in Power Saving Options. Even after this, it is getting terminated. Please find the log below.

The service is not being terminated in your latest log.

Try this: observe adb logcat filtered with -s TSLocationManager

$ adb logcat -s TSLocationManager

Boot your app then terminate it.
Shake the device vigorously to simulate movement
You will hear the plugin engage tracking with doodly-doo sound effect. You will see log entries showing the plugin engage tracking.

christocracy commented 6 years ago

One more thing: Ensure the plugin's #start method has been executed before terminating. Your log above shows the plugin is enabled: false

Your latest log is from which device model?

Josh2941 commented 6 years ago

Huawei Che1-L04, being, the app added to "Protected Apps". You can find it in the above log itself.

christocracy commented 6 years ago

Update?

Josh2941 commented 6 years ago

Can you please update your demo app in Play Store? so that I will be able to test it faster and notify you.

christocracy commented 6 years ago

Just build the SampleApp yourself.

I do not deploy the sample app on request.

@christocracy

I've just experimented with foreground services on the Lenovo P2 (not using your software). In this case, I encountered that using START_REDELIVER_INTENT instead of START_STICKY, you can have the service run while the main activity is gone. What I think(!) happens is that the user swipe causes an actual kill command and subsequent crash (also in the logs it's obviously a crash). Now, after a crash and after a couple of seconds (can be up to 5-30) the foreground service is restarted. I created a small application where I send BLE advertisements in the background to test this. If I use START_STICKY it will show a notification icon (also after a kill and a delay of 5-30 seconds), but it will not actually start anything (it won't broadcast the advertisements). I can see that Spotify, for example, has used the START_STICKY option (it crashes and after a few seconds shows the notification, it also display the play/pause icon in the wrong state, on pressing it in the notification area it starts to play again, rather than getting paused).

It does not matter to have the app in the "Power Manager" - "Battery optimization" menu flagged as "Non optimized". It still gets mercilessly killed on a swipe.

I thought it would be nice for you to know. Just my two cents. It might be the same for the Lenovo A6000.

Hi, we are having some problems on different devices and looks like it is this kind of issue. We developed an application using your plugin and it has been released on the store so we can't access to the logcat or debug it, but the problem are reported by the users. The tracking system looks like work correctly for few seconds or a minute before dying. This happens on different model of phones: Huawei Y6, LG G3 and also an iPhone 7 even if the configuration foregroundService: true and preventSuspend:true are set. Reading your previous answers I checked for the Huawei models and the solution was manually add your app to "Protected Apps" (in the new models like P10 is a little different but it is still the inSetting -> Battery ->Launch -> Manual ) . How can I be sure that all the models can run the app without problem? There is a way for checking this kind of problem and maybe show a popup or something to the user and give him some feedback? I know this is could not connected to the plugin but maybe you have found a workaround for the Lenovo

christocracy commented 5 years ago

Yes, Chinese models tend to be the worst (Huawei, Lenovo, OnePlus, etc). Their flavor of Android OS is aggressive with killing foreground-services. These devices are well-known for causing all sort of issues beyond geolocation, including missed push notifications and terminated music players.

I know of no work around.

You could use react-native-device-info plugin to detect device model yourself.

Background Geolocation runs in an Android foreground-service, just as a music player does. On problem devices, one way to test the os behaviour is to launch a music player, start playing a song. terminate the player. The music is supposed to keep playing. On a Lenovo device, for example, the music stops — that isn’t supposed to happen. If the music stops, background Geolocation will have problems on that device.

chin8 commented 5 years ago

I got it, but trying to install some other applications (e.g. Strava, Runtastic) and checking the behavior looks like even if the app has turned off the option "Protected", the operation system doesn't kill them. Runtastic shows a pop-up to inform the user to put the application in the list of the Protected, but just for the precision of GPS. So when I turn off the screen my application dies and the others are still there.

christocracy commented 5 years ago

I have purchased a Xiaomi Mi A2 and Huawei P20.

The Xiaomi arrived today. No issues so far after terminating the demo app; I see the foreground-service notifications.

christocracy commented 5 years ago

3 days later, background-geolocation service remains running on Xiaomi. Huawei P20 delivers this wednesday.

chin8 commented 5 years ago

Thank you for the feedback. I'm waiting updates from the Huawei side. Our test with P10 failed. Probably it is a wrong configuration of the plugin so we are trying other parameters like disableStopDetection. One of our tester with Huawei told us that the service died when she entered in a building. Strange because in my case works.

christocracy commented 5 years ago

Ok, I've got my Huawei today. As expected, after installing my demo app (then terminating it with stopOnTerminate: false), the OS eventually terminated the foreground-service.

Now I've manually "white-listed" my demo app. In Android 8.0, that's at Settings->Battery->Launch:

For your app, turn the slider to OFF ("Manage manually"). Yes, Huawei users of your app will have to be instructed to manually "whitelist" your app. Huawei is horrible.

chin8 commented 5 years ago

Yes, horrible is the correct word. Thank you for the feedback.

christocracy commented 5 years ago

My demo app's foreground-service on Huawei P20 remains running 24 hours later. Huawei is a nanny state.

christocracy commented 5 years ago

And a successful field-test, including geofences.
